Iya Villania matapos ika-4 na baby: 'Hindi madali manganak para sa akin'
MANILA, Philippines — Matapos i-welcome ang kanyang ikaapat na anak sa asawang si Drew Arellano nitong Hunyo, ibinahagi ni Iya Villania ang desisyong maranasan ang first natural birth sa kanilang anak na si Astro Phoenix.
Sa kanyang Instagram post ngayong Lunes, sinabi ng 36-year-old TV host-actress na uploaded na sa kanyang YouTube channel ang kanyang birthing video sa bunsong anak.
“Para dun sa mga tao diyan na nagsasabi na madali lang ako manganak, no (laughs). Dahil pang-apat ko na ‘to at ito pa ang pinakamatagal. Five hours and we’re still here,” pagbabahagi ni Iya sa simula ng kanyang vlog.
“Things started really slow and then shortly after my IE at 4 p.m., things happened REEEALLY fast... My first natural birth out of my 4 deliveries! This birth is extra special because it will always remind me of how God took me thru ‘til the end even when I had given up,” ani Iya sa kanyang caption, Linggo.
Ibinahagi rin ni Iya kung ano ang naging dahilan para pumili siya ng alternatibong uri ng panganganak na hindi kasama ang anesthesia.
Aniya, matagal na niyang gustong maranasan ang natural na panganganak ngunit madalas ay matinding sakit ang kanyang nadarama kung kaya't hindi niya mapigilang humingi ng gamot.
“For this particular delivery, I was praying for His strength and courage every single morning hoping I’d finally get to experience it since we feel this will be our last pregnancy, hence also my last chance to experience this," dagdag ng aktres.
"Faith in not my own strength and ability, but faith that God would get me thru.”
Ikinuwento rin ni Iya sa kanyang fans ang buong karanasan at kung paano ito naiba sa naunang tatlong panganganak.
Ito raw ang unang beses na pumutok ang kanyang panubigan, unang beses na pumunta sa ospital nang walang contractions, atbp.
“[T]hings definitely weren’t going as I had expected or hoped but I guess that’s what labor is… unpredictable! Even after 3 deliveries! At around 4:15 p.m., after my 4 p.m. IE, I felt discouraged with the progress and felt like the pain was already starting to take me to another dimension,” sambit pa niya.
“And because things were happening at a slower pace, I was afraid of how much longer I would have to bear the pain so I asked them to call my anesthesiologist (who was on standby at home since the plan was to go natural). It was during this time God just took over! At that point on, things went into hyper drive!”
“From urgently asking them to call my OB back into the room and jumping onto the bed at 4:33 p.m., it was 6 mins of delirium and then at 4:39 p.m. Astro was out!!! God decided not to let the drugs get to me in time coz He knew in my heart what I wanted to experience! My dream unmedicated* birthing experience had just happened! God made it happen.”
Ayon kay Iya, dahil sa kanyang karanasan, naiintindihan na niya kung bakit maraming nanay ang gustong gawin ito nang paulit-ulit.
Tinawag pa nga niya itong "amazing moment," imbis na traumatic, bagay na kanyang inaasahan.
Bago ito, una nang naging ina si Iya kina Antonio Primo, Alonzo Leon at Alana Lauren. Taong 2022 nang sabay-sabay silang magkaroon ng COVID-19 kasama ang asawang si Drew. — Philstar.com intern John Vincent Pagaduan
